Hi,

is that a typo for DRIVER_SYNCOBJ_DEADLINE?

Where was the UAPI documentation explaining what a fence deadline is
and what it does, again?

It seems inconsistent that these sec,nsec are here unsigned, when in
other places they are signed. There is also the question if these need
to meet clock_settime() requirements of valid values.
